CHEESY HASH BROWNS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spray a 9 x 13 dish with oil.
• Set aside 1 cup of shredded cheese.
• In a large bowl, mix all ingredients and put into baking dish.
• Top with remaining cheese and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how golden and bubbly you like your cheese.

WAFFLEMAKER HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron on the regular setting and spray both sides with cooking spray.
• Squeeze out any excess moisture from the hash browns and put in a bowl. Pour the melted butter over the hash browns, sprinkle with the salt and pepper and stir. Scoop a heaping 1/2 cup of the seasoned hash browns into each waffle section, then top with a generous 2 tablespoons Cheddar followed by a sprinkling of chopped ham. Top the cheese and ham in each section with another 1/4 cup hash browns. Close the waffle iron and cook for 15 minutes on the regular setting.
• Repeat with the remaining hash browns, cheese and ham, filling one section of the waffle iron.

FUNERAL POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Take the potatoes out of the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, then melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in it. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute or 2 to cook out the raw flour, but do not let it color. Whisk in the milk, making sure to get out all the lumps. Add the broth and whisk again if there are still lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the Monterey Jack, sour cream and Cheddar. Add the hash brown potatoes and mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan. Put the potato chips and Parmesan in a bowl and crush the potato chips. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the potatoes.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

CHEESY GREENS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large Dutch oven, combine the cream, mascarpone, onion, garlic, nutmeg, smoked paprika, lemon zest, salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer over a medium-low heat, stirring as you go. Simmer gently until the onions and garlic are very soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add all of the kale to the cream mixture, then cover and allow to wilt, about 3 minutes. Stir and cook until the greens are just wilted and coated in the cream mixture.
• Transfer the greens mixture to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and spread evenly. Top with the Gruyere and panko breadcrumbs. Place the skillet on a baking sheet and bake until bubbly and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
